Magic Puzzles 3-Pack • Series Two • The Busy Bistro, The Crystal Caves, & The Forest Feast • 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzles from The Magic Puzzle Company

I love these puzzles. The first batch of three was amazing. The new batch is great, but not as good as the first batch. That said, they are still among the best puzzles on the market. DIFFICULTY: Excellent! Some pieces that appear to be outside edge pieces aren't, which ups the difficulty, I love it. DUST: The first batch of three advertised that they were getting rid of puzzle dust. They did that successfully, the puzzles were amazing. The new batch of three has some puzzle dust, but not near as bad as other puzzle brands. I am disappointed it isn't as dust free as the first edition, but that is okay. FIT: The first batch of three fit together amazingly. The pieces fit together with a clean snap, didn't fall out, but were easy to remove. The die used to cut the new batch of three is uneven. In some places it is tight, in other places it is loose. Overall, when the puzzle is complete the lines between the pieces are clearly visible -- much more than on the first puzzle. The pieces fit together nicely, but no longer have that satisfying snap into place. Also, some pieces now have a larger gap between them. It's a step backward, but more in keeping with other puzzle brands. ART: I love the art on these! The first three had a great feature that every single piece had something going on that was interesting. The new batch isn't quite as energetic in that regard, but it still has activity in most places. I am disappointed that there are now some blank pieces, but rarely is there a large blank canvas where you are trying to solve it by shape rather than image. The story the puzzles tell, the way that story changes, and the characters are just absolute fun. My kids literally lose hours studying the maps and the puzzles and declaring what characters they want to be and telling stories about them. Well done to the artists. SECRET: I love the idea of the secret. It works great. Each puzzles pieces have different shapes throughout, so the die is obviously changed. Except, the die for the secret is always the same. Once you figure that out, the puzzles are easier to do, which is disappointing. I wish that they would change up the shape of the secret, because it would make the puzzles more dynamic. I understand the added cost that would cause, but it really would elevate each puzzle to being consistently something special, rather than, "Oh, it's the same overall outline." I do love how the secret changes the puzzle at the end of the day and tells you more of the story, but please change the basic die cut for it so that we get a bit of variety! OVERALL: 5 out of 5. Would buy again, would gift these. My family loves them. They are some of the best puzzles we have ever done for many reasons, ranging from the imagery to the build to the little quality indicators like using paper bags to hold the pieces inside the box instead of plastic. Well done to the creators! I would consider reducing the rating on the puzzles overall by 1 star, for the minor manufacturing quibbles above, but none of those destroy the enjoyment of these puzzles.

These puzzles are AMAZING! They are so unique and provide quite the challenge for people who like doing puzzles. The coolest part is after you put the puzzle together you mix the completed part around and put together a small mystery puzzle in the middle. It is great fun and I highly recommend. The picture quality if great!

The puzzle is well made, vibrant colors and fun.

I love the Magic Puzzle Company puzzles! I prefer to do puzzles without looking at the box or picture of the puzzle as guidance and that is extra challenging (in a good way) with these since there are so many extra edges. I also find that doing puzzles this way helps you better appreciate all the tiny details and boy do these have a bunch of fun little things to look it. Highly recommend these puzzles. I’ve bought all that are out so far and will continue to buy them as they come out.

i love these puzzles these are the best puzzles i have put together by far. great design and nice shapes. love the magic part at the end. definitely made a memory with these.

My husband and I love to puzzle. We discovered the first series of magic puzzles one day at target and were instantly hooked. We bought magic puzzles for everyone for Christmas and we’re so excited when the second series was announced. We pre-ordered it immediately and eagerly awaited their arrival. Once they arrived, it was like Christmas morning! We opened the package right away and got to puzzling. We couldn’t stop and stayed up way too late and finished the first of three puzzles in one sitting. The next two we decided to pace ourselves but couldn’t help it and ended up finishing all three in under a week. Whoops. Luckily these puzzles are good enough to repeat over and over again. I also love the little upgrades they added to this series with a puzzle log and stickers. There’s also nods to the other puzzles in the series if you look hard enough. We can’t get enough of these puzzles. The picture and art quality is awesome, the puzzle pieces have a nice fit and are sturdy. They also sift out the puzzle dust which is a nice detail. All-in-all these puzzles are my favorite. I hope to see more come from this company. We started a puzzle library and hope to collect many more magic puzzles! They also make great gifts!

Very engaging and fun puzzle, adhd friendly

These are very good puzzles, even without the gimmick, which is clever the first time and pretty cute every time they're after. They do all have the same gimmick. But beyond that, they're very well crafted - very interesting puzzle piece shapes, great art, and excellent attention to detail when it comes to the small cues of distance, color, etc, that a puzzle or can use to figure out which part of a puzzle a piece belongs in. I recommend the older trio too.

Great puzzles, lots of fun for the whole family..

Extra monga kantbitar gör det spännande och kul från start

Perfect. Will order the rest of the sets.

I only received one box and not the set of 3 after paying full price..

Vale totalmente la pena. Son un poco más caros que su precio original, pero se entiende al ser importados. Lo valen totalmente. Los 3 son bonitos, cada uno de diferente dificultad. Y la sorpresa al final es algo que se aprecia
